HOW: Leverage the investment in the Metro lines to create a comprehensive urban mobility framework that integrates public transit, mobility management, land use planning and urban design

Planning basis: • Phase 1 study complete • Recommendations for five lines of action • National Government of Panama • Metro de Panama • Financed by IDB

Panama Urban Mobility NAMA Proposal

PIMUS Emission (Integral Plan of Sustainable Urban Reductions Mobility)

Institutional restructuration

Integrated public transport pasanjger system (SIT)

Transport demand administration Urban Mobility NAMA Invesment in Urban Mobility (Ministry of Environment) Infrastructure

Citizen involvement in Urban Mobility Aditional Financial Source Policy Institutional Reform

Institutional reform to evolve toward a single functional entity to coordinate urban mobility and land planning in the Panama Metro Area. The elements • 2025 Metro system 3 lines: . L1 Albrook – Villa Zaita . L2 San Miguelito – 24 de Diciembre . L3 Albrook – Ciudad del Futuro • MetroBus • Central Area (actual) • North , East and West areas • Integrated Fare • Preferential transit lanes • Improved sidewalks and Complete Streets • Improved interchanged modal facilities Catalytic projects

Six regionally strategic projects would start to catalyze the transit and demand management programs

Financial coordination: • Ministry of Finance an Economy • Secretary of Goals • CAF Expected Social Outcomes

Overall NAMA would reduce metropolitan transport emissions by 13% and result in $14 m in fuel savings annually Year 2030* Base Scenery (BAU) 1,403,724

Scenery: PIMUS 1,235,710 Implemented

Emission Reduction 168,014 Percentage of 13% Reduction Annual Savings in 14 Millones USD Fuel

*Annual emissions tCO2e Expected Social Outcomes

• Decreased travel times • Better balance of jobs and housing, • Higher quality transit and pedestrian environment • Enhanced access to jobs and services NAMA Support Financing Request International Climate Support Request $100M Cost of six catalytic projects and tech • $10M grants for tech assistance: Existing and assistance and urban $300M planned acupuncture investment in Metro system lines 1-3 : • $20M in loan guarantees for $4-5 Billion transit preferential lanes* • $70M in loans for bus system Total additional cost of PIMUS: $1.3 Billion reorganization and infrastructure *This would leverage an expected $200 million loan from CAF Panama Sustainable Urban Mobility NAMA

• Addresses passenger transport sector comprehensively. • Advances ongoing paradigm shift in region. • Provides replicable example for the rest of the nation. • Improves economic competiveness and quality of life. • Leverages existing commitment to transit reform.

International support will accelerate the transformation and demonstrate the advantage of a comprehensive approach to transport sector reform.
